1. Ensure the converter is being air cooled before starting sonication.
2. Immerse the probe into the liquid. Always immerse the probe deep enough
below the surface of the sample to ensure effective mixing of your sample
volume. Larger samples may require the probe to be submerged deeper. Contact
your Qsonica representative with any questions.
If using a flocell accessory, make sure that the probe assembly is installed
properly and then begin to flow liquid into the flocell before starting sonication.
3. Depress the
START

TIMER:
In the pulse mode the processing time will be different from the elapsed time
because the processing time function monitors and controls only the ON portion of
the duty cycle. For example, for 1 hour processing time, the elapsed time will be 2
hours if the Pulse timer is set for 1 second ON and 1 second OFF. To set the
processing time, press the
TIMER
key.
The screen will display:
NOTE
If the
START
key is pressed and the time limit has not been set, processing will
remain uninterrupted until the
STOP
key is depressed.
If the
START
key is pressed and the time limit has been set, processing will remain
uninterrupted until the set time limit expires, or the
STOP
key is pressed –
whichever occurs first.
If a footswitch is used, and the time limit has not been set, processing will remain
uninterrupted as long as the footswitch is depressed.
If a footswitch is used, and the time limit has been set, processing will remain
uninterrupted until the time limit expires or the footswitch is released – whichever
occurs first.
The
START
key and footswitch are mutually exclusive. If the process is initiated by
the
START
key, the footswitch becomes inoperative. If the process is initiated by
the footswitch, the
STOP
key becomes inoperative.
